With Windows Vista being a commercial failure, Microsoft wants regain its top status in the business with Windows 7, the latest addition. Still not out Windows 7 has been gathering some buzz for those who have it I will try to answer the following Question.
Can I get Windows 7 and keep Windows Vista?
Yes , you can.
First of All let’s check the System Requirements for the new windows.
- 1 GHz 32-bit or 64-bit processor

To do this you will need to create a second partition on Vista. These are the following steps to achieve this.

7.Select the volume size and click next again.
8. Assign a letter to the drive and click Next.
